srips. The cylinder and barrel can be opened to the right for 
loading by pressing on a snap catch on the right side of the 
frame. This is the first American revolver made with a swing 
cylinder, and it is interesting to note that this patent was not 
revived and did not come into general use again until about 
thirty years later. Very interesting revolver, in perfect condi- 
tion, except that a small piece of wood is chipped out of the 
right grip. 


146. RARE CONFEDERATE LE MAT REVOLVER. 

Superposed barrels. The cylinder holds nine cartridges, 
while the lower barrel, which is of a large calibre, is intended

Although these were designed by Col. Le Mat, of Paris, it is 
said the working model was made in Krider’s workshop in 
Philadelphia. 


A few of these revolvers were used by Confederate officers. from 
whom they were obtained by blockade runners and were consigned 
to Beauregard & Slidell, Charleston, S. C., and it is said the officers 
paid as high as $200 apiece for them. It is not only a very rare

design, and this one is in very good, original condition.

PETTINGILL HAMMERLESS PERCUSSION ARMY RE- 
VOLVER. Cal. .44. 

Patented in 1856 and the only hammerless revolver used by 
the United States Government, as it came ahead of its time; 
and it is interesting to note that the next revolver of a ham- 
merless model was put on the market by Smith & Wesson not 
until thirty years later. The mechanism of these revolvers were 
complicated and weak and very few of them were made. Con- 
sequently they are not only very desirable from a collector’s 
standpoint, but exceptionally rare, this specimen being in very

rarely one can be obtained at any price. This specimen is in.

226. OLD DANIEL BOONE FAMILY FOWLING PIECE. L. 957 in. 
Cap-lock fowling piece altered from flint-lock. Procured of 
W. E. Boone, a descendant of Jacob Boone, who was first cousin 
to Daniel Boone, the noted pioneer. Jacob and Daniel were 
often together on hunting expeditions, as the old woodsman 
often made long visits to his cousin. This gun was secured from 
the actual descendants and is accompanied by an affidavit from 
them. It has been described in several different magazines and 
newspapers, including the National Sportsman for October, 

1922 (which accompanies the affidavit). 
A fowling piece originally the property of Jacob Boone, who was 


39 


born in Bucks Co., Pa., in 1744, and was first cousin to Daniel 
Boone. In 1775 Jacob moved to Franklin Co., Virginia, he died in 
1814 and was buried at Boone’s Mill, Va. A son named Daniel 
brought the gun with him to Michigan in 1845 and when he d’ed in 
1872 it went to his son Preston in whose possession it rema‘ned 
until 1904 when he gave it to his nephew, and a grandson of the 
“second Daniel” (the original owner’s son), W. E, Boone. The 
affidavit accompanying the gun is from him and from Eliza Boone 
Ford, the only living child of the “second Daniel.” 

The gun is 57 inches long; the barrel 41 inches is part octagon, 
marked with the word “London.” The lock which is marked “Ket- 
land & Co.’ has been altered from flint to percussion (this was done 
in the ’70’s). It has a full leng*h maple stock, with checkered grip. 
the checks now worn from handling; it is brass mounted both guard 
and butt-plate being chiselled. The bore is 11-16 of an inch or 
ebout 18 gauge. It ?s the typical old time fowling piece—just the 
gun that a man who was looking for service (not for show) would 
be inclined to pick out. The authenticity of this old weapon is 
es'ablished as com‘ng from a direct Boone descendant—even to the 
name—and such being the case, it is a very desirable acquisition. it 
has not been cleaned, and the two screws are still miss'ng leaving 
it still just in the condition it came from W. E. Boone. 

From the family history handed down, it is believed that this old 
gun WAS OFTEN IN THE HANDS OF DANIEL Boone, as he often made 
long visits to Jacob’s home, and it would be a very natural thing for 
him to have used it when failing eyesight would not warrant the 
use of a rifle. (Illustrated) 


227. UNUSUAL FLINT-LOCK SWISS BOAR RIFLE. Cal. 54. 

Exceptionally heavy 37-inch octagon barrel, slightly belled at 
the muzzle, multiple rifling, full butternut stock with some carv- 
ing around the thimbles, lock and trigger guard. The tang is 
of brass. Double set triggers. There is some carving also around 
the tang and in the rear of the raised cheek piece. This gun 
was evidently made to order for a hunter blind in one eye, as 
the stock has an offset to the right. An interesting piece show- 
ing high-grade workmanship and in wonderfully good condition. 


228. RARE GOLCHER DATED FLINT-LOCK TIGER RIFLE. 
Forty-two-inch octagon barrel, unusually well sighted, full 
length, very fine curly maple stock with hand-made brass 
mounts. The barrel is marked “I. Georg—1832,” and the lock 
is marked “Joseph Golcher.” Golcher was the most celebrated 
maker of. these rifles in Pennsylvania. The barrel was made by 
Georg, whe was a celebrated barrel maker. The stock has a 
very beautiful curve and is set with an unusually nice brass 
engraved patch box. The side plate is brass with some engray- 
ing, and the raised cheek piece has engraved brass oval shaped 
ornament. An unusually desirable old-time rifle from a collec- 
tor’s standpoint, and perhaps one of the most desirable rifles that 
has come to us for sale, since it is dated and made by the cele- 
brated Golcher. In exceptionally good condition. (Iustrated)

end cap, German silver escutcheons, engraved German silver 
spur trigger guard and double set triggers, engraved hammer 
and back-action lock, engraved steel butt plate. The barrel 
is marked “The Henry Ward Beecher,” undoubtedly being a

can piece, practically as good as new.

silver rabbit on the raised cheek piece. The Jock is marked 
“Henry Parker,” the celebrated locksmith, while the barrel is 
marked “A. Gibbs, Lancaster, Pa..” probably one of the fore- 
most early rifle makers. The arm is in particularly good con- 

ditien and is iar better than the average such rifle.

with some raised carving around it. These early American 
flint-lock fowling pieces are far rarer than the rifles. 


236. LONG TOM FLINT-LOCK GUN. 


Zod. 


238. 


Full-length curly walnut stock, brass mounted. This is a 
very unusually interesting piece, as these were brought over 
about 1700 by Dutch settlers who located at a point near King- 
ston, N. Y. The great length of the barrel was necessary, as 
the powder that was used at that time with the gun was made 
of a slow-burning type which necessitated a long barrel for 
ignition. A few of these guns are in the hands of large collec- 
tors. In very good original condition. 


RARE EARLY AMERICAN AIR GUN. 


Thirty-four-inch slender brass octagon barrel. Made by the 
celebrated Kunz of Philadelphia and so marked. The frame 
is steel. Very fine lock, nicely engraved, and engraved brass 
trigger guard of fancy design. The stock is of iron and contains 
the air chamber. There is an outside dummy hammer for dis- 
charging the piece, and a safety on the tang. It is the only 
such air gun that has been found, making it a valuable addition 
to any collection. 


RARE EARLY AMERICAN AIR GUN. L. 23 in. 

Unique design. It has a 64-inch round brass barrel, and the 
other mountings are of brass. By pulling down on the trigger 
guard, which forms the lever, the air is compressed in the reser- 
voir in the stock. It is the only such piece that is known to~ 
the cataloguer, and is in very fine original condition.

through our hands and in fine condition.

polished, checked, and with two sets of keys and escutcheons. 
Chambered for the .45 Sharps cartridge. This is one of the 
finest American-made guns the cataloguer has seen, and must 
have cost $150 to build, and is in new condition.

HOWARD UNDER-HAMMER, BREECH-LOADING “THUN- 

DERBOLT” RIFLE. 

One of the first breech-loading rifles made in the United 
States. The lock was not a positive one and often blew open

250. INTERESTING EARLY AMERICAN UNDER-HAMMER PER. 

CUSSION MATCH RIFLE. 

Twenty-nine-inch, heavy octagon barrel that measures 2 
inches in diameter, and is about calibre .40. Made by H. War- 
ner, Ridgeway, Pa. The piece weighs about 35 Ibs., and the

time globe and peep sights. Mottled walnut stock, and false 
muzzle. It is also accompanied by a machine rest with wheel 
for regulating the elevation. An extremely rare and interesting 
outfit, high-grade workmanship, and in perfect condition. 

It is rarely that an underhammer firearm is found that was made 
outside of New England. and those made in Pennsylvania are ex- 
tremely hard to find. These old rifles were used for turkey shoots, 
which were great events in the early days in Pennsylvania, and these 
rifles were known as the “forty-rod” rifles, as they shot turkey heads 
at that range. (Illustraied)

Cal. .762 M.M. 
A number of these were made by Remington in 1916 under 
contract with the Russian Government. This particular rifle is 
No. 6, highly finished, the bluing being of extra quality and 
the stock of very fine highly polished mottled walnut. There 
were probably not over ten or a dozen such inspectors’ pieces 
made. This is an unfired specimen, complete and original and 
absolutely factory new. (Illustrated) 


LINDSAY TWO-SHOT, SINGLE-BARREL, MUZZLE-LOADING 
RIFLE MUSKET. (Experimental.) Cal. .58. | 
Patented by J. P. Lindsay, 1860, and manufactured at the — 
U. S. Springfield Armory. This is a very interesting early 
American experimental weapon, as it was intended to shoot 
two charges—the first acting as a breech for the second—the 
arm being equipped with two hammers. It was intended for 
use against the Indians, as they were not familiar with anything 
but a single-shot rifle. Only a few of them were tried by the 
Government, and they are now rarely found. Bayonet missing, 
otherwise in very fine condition. 


“LONG TOM” FLINT-LOCK COMBINATION FOWLING AND 
MILITARY PIECE. “ 
Fifty-six-inch barrel, with numerous French proof marks on 
the breech. Brass mounted. This is an extremely interesting 
piece, as it was made about 1700, when many of these guns 
were traded to American Indians for furs, and the longer the 
barrel the more fur the traders obtained: Ramrod missing, 
otherwise good original condition. ,

MERLESS PEPPERBOX. 
4°4-inch 5-shot barrel, engraved frame, rosewood grips. Made 
by Robbins & Lawrence, Windsor, Vt., 1849, under Leonard’s 
patent. This was supposed to be an improvement over Allen’s 
pepperbox. as the barrels could be released for capping, and it 
is hammerless. But few were made, and they are now rarely 
found. Fairly good condition. 


PAIR REVOLUTIONARY WAR OFFICER’S PISTOLS. 

In original saddle holsters. The pistols are 14 inches long, 
with butternut stocks, brass mounted, and marked “Extra Proof

ble bullet moulds,—one brass, one steel,—casting round and 
conical bullets, wad cutter, and three combination nipple

nice outfit, made to order for duelling-purposes. The cata- 
loguer was not able to obtain the name of the person for whom 
they were made. (Ilustrated ) 


TRANTER DOUBLE ACTION PERCUSSION ARMY RE- 
VOLVER. Cal. .44. 

Six-inch barrel. All parts engraved. Closely checked grip. 
One of the fine old-time English revolvers, showing most of the 
factory finish. 

Many of these were sold to wealthy Southerners before the Civil 
War, as they were considered the highest type of revolver at the time, 
as the workmanship was of the very best, the blueing being very rich 
in color and all parts working smoothly on account of the superior 
ma‘erizls and workmanship that were used. (Tlustrated)

VOLVER. | 
74-inch octagon barrel, calibre .36, marked “Made for H. E. 
Dimick, St. Louis.” Silver-plated frame, much worn. Numbered 
1470 in four places, showing it is all original. 

Th's is a copy of the Colt Navy revolver, and is undoubtedly the 
rarest Confederate percussion revolver that has been found, as the 
cataloguer knows of but few oiher specimens. Slightly inoperative, 
but it shows fine workmanship, and the finish and outside appearance 
are excellent. The left side of the grip was damaged in transit, but 
ihe piece that is broken can easily be repa‘red. 


406. RARE CONFEDERATE COLT DRAGOON REVOLVER. 
L. 1444 in. Cal. .44. 

Fight-inch barrel, octagon at the breech for 214 inches. Brass 
trigger guard and back strap. There is some German silver 
ornamertation on the grips. Marked No. 324 in six places. 

This closely resembles and is probably patterned after the Colt 
dragoon revolver, and, as far as the cataloguer is aware, is the only 
specimen known, and as such is an excessively rare arm, as Confed- 
erate made arms are now rarely to be had.

HISTORICAL PAIR LEG IRONS AND COLT FRONTIER 
MODEL REVOLVER. Calibre .45. 


Used by William Bonny (alias Billy the Kid), the most no- 
torious bandit the Southwest ever had to deal with. 

The Kid started on his career of crime at Silver City, New Mexico, 
by burning out some Chinese. He was then about twelve years old. 
He fled to Port Rand, Ariz.. and secured employment at the Govern. 
men? Post. He got into a fight with the post blacksmith, killed him 
and fled into Old Mexico, where he went to work as a cow puncher. 
Cow punchers in those days meant fighting men as well as roping 
cattle. During this time the Kid’s record was about twenty cold- 
blooded murders. 

The Kid was arrested in 1880 at Portales, New Mexico. near Fort 
Sumner. He was taken at Las Cruses, New Mex+co, tried and con- 
victed of one of his numerous murders. He was sentenced to be 
hung and was removed to Lincoln, there to await execution. The 
Kid was kept shackled and in some way induced Keeper Bell to 
take him out in the yard and release one hand. Coming back he was 
eight or ten feet ahead of the guard. and when he reached the stair- 
way, quick as a flash he jumped upstairs, reached the door of the 
room where all arms taken from prisoners were kepi, threw himself 
against it breaking it down, and with one hand released he had 
no trouble to get hold of a sharpshooter. turned an~ met Deputy Bell 
just as he reached the head of the stairs. To shoot Bell was but the 
work of a second. He killed two other deputies who ran from the 
restaurant across the street when they heard the shot. In the yard at 
that time was an old German gardener whom he compelled to cut. 
on of the leg shackles, and he repaired to the gen room and secured 
the revolver which we are now offering for sale. (See newspaper 
clippings for rest of history.)

PARKER SNOW & CO. BREECH LOADING RIFLED MUSKET.

The ramrod and bayonet are missing and wood work is slightly 
cracked but could be glued together.

RARE EARLY MODEL REPEATING RIFLE. Cal. .32. 

Made by Roper. Heavy Octagon barrel, with three sights. 
Made by the Roper Repeating Arms Co., Hartford, Conn., 1866. 
This is one of the most interesting early American guns, as it 
has a rotary magazine, being the first such mechanism used in 
any American-made rifle; and although this was patented at this 
early date, the patent was not revived again until 1893, when 
the Savage Repeating Arms Co. put a rifle on the market with 
practically the same mechanism. It has fine curly walnut stock, 
and is in very good condition. 


SHARPS OLD RELIABLE MATCH RIFLE. 

28 inch round tapering barrel, calibre .44._ It has a combina- 
tion front globe, wind gauge, and spirit level sight, and rear 
elevating sight. Very fine highly polished circassian walnut 
stock with full checked pistol grip and fore-end, nickle-plated 
butt plate, case hardened mountings. This is one of the fine’ 
high grade old time Creedmore rifles in almost new condition.

Swiss butt plate with raised cheek piece. Fore-end and grip are

specimen requires cleaning, but is sound, and in exceptionally 


good condition for a relic of such extreme rarity,

30-inch heavy octagon barrel, calibre .38-.55, Beach combina- 
tion front sight, Vernier rear peep sight, nickel-plated frame, 
fore-end cap, and Swiss butt plate. Very beautiful highly pol- 
ished Italian walnut stock and fore-end, the grip and fore-end 
are closely checked. A beautiful old-time rifle in new condition. 
These o!d time special rifles recall to mind the many and important 
matches that were held throughout the United States, especially at 
Creedmore during the seventies, when each pare:cipant appeared 

with a specially made rifle, built after his own specifications. 

(Illustra:ed) 


524. RARE EARLY AMERICAN AIR GUN. 


21-inch barrel, nickel-plated air reservoir and frame marked, 
“Haviland & Gunn, Ilion, N. Y.” Patented 1871. A finely made

that has been found. 
(Illustraied)

Parallel octagon barrels. Calibre .36. Half walnut stock, 
back action locks, marked “Joseph Golcher.” Brass mounted 
with a brass patch box on each side of the stock and an old 
time peep sight. 

Golcher was perhaps the most celebrated of early American flint 
and percussion rifles and so far as the cataloguer is aware, th’s is 
the first short double rifle of this type that has been found. Nipple 
of the left barrel is missing, otherwise in very good condition. 

(Tlustra‘ed) 


527. RARE UNITED STATES FLINT-LOCK MUSKET. 
The lock is marked “United States,” denoting that it was used 
by the United States Army shortly after the Revolutionary War- 
It is therefore an extremely rare musket, in very good condition 
for such an old weapon, except that the bayonet is missing.

RARE U. S. FLINT-LOCK MUSKET. 

Marked “N. Haven” with a scroll, and on barrel “P.” Made 
by Eli Whitney, Sr., either under the 1789 or 1808 contract. 
When a contract in 1789 was awarded by the Government to 
Whitney, the Charleville musket, model 1763, was used as a 
model. Whitney, however, was familiar with the model 1777 
Charleville and considered its lock a better piece of mechanism. 
The Government officials permitted him to use on his muskets 
a lock with a flat face and oval hammer and an inclined brass 
pan. (This improvement did not come into general use until 
about twenty years later.) When Whitney received another 
contract in 1808, he made muskets on the same design and 
marked them similarly, thus it is difficult when a musket bears 
no other marks, to tell when he made it. 

This was evidently intended for a presentation piece, as it has two 
German silver plates. The wood is split at the breech, the main 
spring is weak, and_ the rear swivel is missing, as well as the bayonet. 
Nevertheless, since it is such an early model of a gun, :t is in pass- 
ably good condition. 
FINE PERCUSSION SPORTING RIFLE. 

38 inch browned octagon barrel, well rifled, calibre .40, half 
walnut stock, case hardened back action lock, double set triggers, 
brass trigger guard and fancy engraved brass patch box. There 
are seven German silver ornaments. This is one of the fine old- 
time hand-made rifles, probably of Pennsylvania make, that has 
never heen shot. Rarely such a fine rifle is to be had. 


REVOLUTIONARY BROWN BESS MUSKET. 
An interesting piece in fine condition except that the ramrod 
and bayonet are missing and a slight chip out of the fore stock. 


RARE EARLY AMERICAN FLINT-LOCK MATCH RIFLE. 
39-inch heavy octagon barrel, calibre .45. This is fitted with 
globe and peep sights and double set triggers for fine shooting. 
Full-length curly maple stock, brass trigger guard and buit 
plate. A good many of these interesting old rifles were used in 
Pennsylvania for “turkey shoots” a hundred years ago and they 
are rarely found, especially when in such fine original condition. 


RARE EARLY AMERICAN BRASS BARREL PERCUSSION 
RIFLE. 

The barrel is 24 inches long, octagon for 614 inches at the 
breech. Back action lock, walnut stock, brass mounted. Thimble 
missing—otherwise in fine condition and a great rarity. 

TRANSFORMED REVOLVING RIFLE. Cal. .32. 

30-inch smooth bore barrel about calibre .44. For use with 
shot. These were made for taxidermists’ use about 1870, and 
they are now rarely found. Very good condition.

Tapering laminated steel barrel with bell muzzle. The fore- 
end is held to the stock by two chiseled pins and is also fitted

graving and pierce design decoration. The lock is an English 
one with English lion and other English proof marks and dated 
1809. The stock is set with engraved ivory ornamentation and 
butt plate. There is also an ivory swan each side of the comb. 
This is an unusually scarce and interesting piece and was un- 
doubtedly made in England for some Moorish chief. The fore- 
stock is slightly chipped in places but, on the whole, the piece 
is in wonderfully good condition and shows high grade work- 


manship. y

but few were tried. Shows a good deal of factory finish. 


JOSLYN BREECH LOADING INDIAN CARBINE. 

Made by the Joslyn Firearms Company, Stonington, Conn., 
for use in the Civil War. Only a few, however, were used, aud 
this one must have fallen into the hands of the Indians, as il.

carbines are now rarely found. Main spring missing,—otherwise 
in very good condition.
